Tories used praise for Liberals to defend Summit costs: Fraser

CBC News the General Canada auditor chided the conservatives for the recycling of a citation not bound by it on the safety of a liberal government previous expenses in a parliamentary report on the costs of the summits of G8/G20 in Ontario last summerlearned.

But in a letter scathing to the members of a Committee of common Friday, was received by the Registrar and members Monday, Fraser said that the quote had nothing to do with the summits.

Instead, she said, the Conservatives inserted a comment by 2010, she made in an interview with CBC News on safety spending attacks after September 11, 2001, by a previous Liberal Government.

"The comments attributed to me in the [conservative] report are completely foreign to G8/G20 expenditures," Fraser wrote in his letter.

"I would appreciate it if the report could be modified as it is clearly wrong."

Stockwell Day, a member of the Harper cabinet that is not running for re-election, said Fraser was quoted in error and the conservatives "unequivocally apologize." "As soon as I was aware of this letter, that I asked for the analysis of our agents, our people," day said host Evan Solomon on Power & Politics the CBC. "."

"In fact, I think, and we believe that it has been cited on that." He had a bad allocation account held of his analysis, and we apologize unequivocally just that. ?

Day said that the leaders of house parties are contacted to see how "the good citation" can be entered in the parliamentary record.

"This quotation has been attributed to wrong... and she has reason to be upset," he said.

But the new Democrat MP Pat Martin objected to the characterization of the day of the issue as a "paraphrase."

"It was a complete misrepresentation and fraudulent use of a quote of an event that happened years before, cut and pasted in this context," said Martin.

Martin said Solomon with the CBC that Fraser had stressed in the letter she did was not even a witness before the Committee.

"She made no official on (it) comment, because it was in its investigation of the G8/G20," said Martin.

"The Auditor General is the most trusted person on Parliament Hill. (The conservatives) to distort and falsify his comments are unethical. It is dishonest. "It is in contempt."

Letter from Fraser is addressed to the President of the deceased joint operations and estimates Committee, Liberal MP John McKay and copied in several other members, including Martin.

When the Government was defeated last month, the Committee had completed just studied more than 1.2 billion the Harper Government has spent on the summits of three days held in Toronto and Muskoka cottage North of the city.

But the Conservatives on the Committee released their own report of two pages.

In this document, they claimed: "all the witnesses have proposed evidence demonstrating the strong endorsement of transparency without precedent of the Government toward the top of the cost."

Citing Fraser sought that the claim to return.
